Workday's integration with Canditech allows you to send skills assessments to candidates directly from Workday and sync their results back to Workday. In this article, we will cover how to:
How Do You Set Up the Workday Integration?
Note: An Admin user in both Workday and Canditech are required to configure the integration. Setup takes about 30 minutes.
In your Canditech account, navigate to Settings → Integrations and locate Workday.
Click CONNECT and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup. In Workday, you create an integration system user, give it the required permissions and generate an API client. For additional guidance, refer to:
Once the setup is complete, Canditech will display a "Successfully established connection with ATS" confirmation message.
How Do You Add Canditech Assessments to Workday?
Workday does not receive new assessments automatically. You add each Canditech assessment to Workday once, as an assessment test package.
Email support@canditech.io for your package list: the name and ID of each Canditech assessment.
In Workday, add each package with the task Maintain Recruiting Assessment Tests. Enter the package name in Test Name and the package ID in Reference ID Value. For additional guidance, refer to:
Notes:
Every saved assessment, one-way video interview and chatbot with at least one section is available as a package. Live Interviews are not supported.
When you add a new assessment in Canditech, add its package to Workday the same way.
How Do You Invite a Candidate from Workday?
In Workday, move the candidate to the Assessment stage of the job requisition.
Click Assess, add the Canditech test under Assessment Test, and click Submit.
Canditech then automatically sends the candidate an assessment invitation using the assessment's Invite message. For additional guidance, including how to invite candidates in bulk, refer to How assessment works in Workday.

Where Can You View Assessment Results in Workday?
Canditech automatically syncs assessment results to each candidate's assessment in Workday.
Each result includes:
Status: Invited, Completed, or Cancelled (if the candidate abandoned the assessment).
Score & Verdict: The candidate's score out of the assessment's maximum and the pass/fail decision.
Section Scores & Comments: Each scored section's score and your team's comments.
Full Report: A direct link to the candidate's detailed results in Canditech (login required).
Automatic Updates: The result is updated when the candidate completes the assessment, and again whenever your team sets a pass/fail verdict, adds or deletes a comment, or manually scores a question.
Why Might a Candidate Not Receive an Assessment Invitation?
Canditech will automatically decline an assessment request from Workday if:
Assessment Already Completed: The candidate has already completed the selected assessment.
Existing Invitation: The candidate already has an active invitation to the same assessment.
ATS Integration Not Included: Your Canditech subscription does not include ATS integrations.
If none of these apply and the invitation was not sent, please contact support@canditech.io for assistance.
How Do You Disconnect Workday?
In your Canditech account, navigate to Settings → Integrations and expand the Workday integration card.
Click DISCONNECT, then confirm by selecting Disconnect.
Note: Once Workday is disconnected, results stop syncing to Workday.
